Ruth Campbell Humphries Memorial Scholarship

The Ruth Campbell Humphries Memorial Scholarship was established in 2002 by the great grandchildren of the late Ruth Campbell Humphries. Throughout her life Ruth sold milk from the cows on her Nebraska farm and kept the money in her sugar bowl. Periodically she would dip into the fund to buy stocks from the ‘penny stock man’ who would come around. She primarily focused on a small company, Nebraska Consolidated Mills, which today is Con Agra Foods.
